Growing up my parents taught me to never take things for granted and to appreciate even the smallest blessings in life. It is a principle that I have tried to follow through the years but even more so now that I am a parent. Today, on my favorite holiday, I would like to give thanks for everything that I hold dear in my heart.

Greetings, friends! My husband and I went on a little New England retreat this past week and it was absolutely wonderful. The first stop on our journey was Castle Hill on the Crane Estate. We visited on a cold November morning and were the only two people walking the grounds the entire time we were there. The Great House, a 59-room Stuart-style mansion, presides over the Crane Estate, one of the most scenic, historically important, and ecologically diverse landscapes of the region. The property offers panoramic views of the ocean- the Grand Alleé, pictured above, stretches half a mile from the the Great House to the Crane Beach, a four-mile of pristine, white-sand beaches and trails across dunes also part of The Crane Estate.

We look forward to visiting again and attending their picnic concerts, theater, and holiday celebrations.

Happy Friday, friends! It is always with great pleasure that we return to Washington D.C. and this time around it was even more special as we traveled with Grace in tow. Once again, the capital with its marvelous architecture, rich history, and restaurant scene made for an excellent weekend. Here are a few pics from our first day there.
